The UK Singles Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom. Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles with airplay figures and digital downloads excluded from the official chart. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1989, as well as songs which peaked in 1988 and 1990 but were in the top 10 in 1989. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
One-hundred and forty-five singles were in the top ten in 1989. Eight singles from 1988 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Especially for You" by Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, "Crackers International" by Erasure, "Suddenly" by Angry Anderson, "Good Life" by Inner City" and "Loco in Acapulco" by The Four Tops all first charted in 1988 but reached their peak in 1989. Thirty-six artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1989.
Australian singer Jason Donovan had the most top ten singles in 1989 with seven. "Too Many Broken Hearts" reached number-one, where it remained for two weeks, and a further five weeks in the top ten. Similarly "Sealed with a Kiss" had two weeks at the summit, and four weeks in the top ten in total. Donovan had a third number one single, his collaboration with Neighbours co-star Kylie Minogue, "Especially for You" taking the honours for three weeks, and staying in the top ten for 10 weeks. Other entries included "Every Day (I Love You More)" and "When You Come Back to Me" (both number 2). Donovan was also a participant on the Band Aid II charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas", which was also a chart-topper in December 1989.
